When i try to play games that are not compatible with windows 10, on starting the game.exe it shows an error saying "the application is unable to start correctly (error: 0xc000007b)". This error only occur in those games that are not compatible
with windows 10. Please help!

First: always check if you have drivers and WIndows updated.

Second: check also if your games are updated.

Third: if you are playing really old games and you are 100% sure that are not compatible with Windows 10, you can try to run them as an older Windows version.

Check this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/15078/windows-10-make-older-apps-or-programs-compatible

Additionally, remember that "Run as Administrator" is a better choice for various games.

Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

Click Check for Updates;

Click the Download and Install Now option, if available;

Then try this:

After that click repair and then restore, open the app and try again.

If it still doesn't work:

In the windows search bar type Powershell > Right click and select open as administrator > Type the command: "get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-Appxpackage –allusers" > Wait for the process to finish and then restart the PC and try again.
